Software development is a team sport with Ron Lichty – 011

In this episode you can hear Ron Lichty and Andrei talk about:

Inspired leadership, or how leaders can share their vulnerabilities in story form, showing your human side to achieve success and why building a community of developers pays off.

Some value points you can expect:

  • A culture of sharing pays off
  • Situational leadership and how it can help you delegate correctly
  • Why it’s important to apologize when you do wrong by others
  • Getting promoted into management increases the learning load, not decreases it
  • The managers job is to be an enabler and an empowerer to his people
  • How agile came about
  • Software development is a team sport and needs to be treated as such.
  • Managers must ferment and foster psychological safety
  • Self organizing teams are formed by people who assume leadership responsibilities inside the team regardless of experience
  • Good programming teams work much like a good Jazz group
  • Sharing is caring, and it’s a managers job to prove it to his team.
